Honestly, here's how I search my own toots.
I use https://justmytoots.com/
I don't know if @cookie_mumbles is still maintaining it, but it still works! 😎
It is *entirely* opt in, stores nothing of your content, and blocks search engines from crawling it.
It just looks at your server, and displays a current list of your toots.
You can adjust view options like: public only, with replies, or only media.

Sigh. Google flagged https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/classic-rts-perimeter-returns-as-perimeter-legate-edition-with-linux-support/page=1/ as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it.
It's a new article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page.
What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly?
@jasonkoebler and Reddit has a perverse incentive to turn a blind eye to this. The more content people scroll through, the more ads they show, and the more stuff they can sell back to google. It doesn't need to be good content. It just needs to be good enough that people put up with it.
It would be immensely simple for Twitter to stop the bot problem, or at least reduce it. But then the numbers on the graph would dip down further.
@jupiter_rowland that took me awhile to read so I had to put it off for awhile. I read through it and it is definitely interesting, but honestly a lot of it just goes over my head past a certain point. But I do see your frustrations on things like post limits and alt text character limits and such. It's really unfortunate because at this point, I'm not sure those types of things will be changed. That train might have left the station and Mastodon probably won't look back at it.
It sucks, but let's be honest, it's not like Eugen is gonna be listening to any criticism regarding proprietary features like that. Don't think he ever has.🤦♂️
Gonna take another small break from advocating on Threads.
It's very tiring and mostly unrewarding. The reactions range from not knowing about the Fediverse, to not "caring" about the Fediverse, to thinking Fediverse is useless cause threads makes it look like that, to straight up hostile towards anyone who mentions it.
It's rare that I get a reaction from someone who's thankful for it, excited for it, knowledgeable about it, or thankful that someone informed them about it.🤦♂️
The people that are getting pushed through the algorithm just don't seem to care and bigger media accounts straight up ignore me.
Demotivating.😩
@tanepiper @deadparrot @zachleat @dries YYYYYYUP. For dedicated teams/orgs with engineering resources, I think those decisions have clearer tradeoffs — go headless to get a cleaner foundation, then invest your time building more of the flow/experience on top of it.
It's smaller organizations, or ones that work with agencies that are only there for the design/build/launch phase, that can be really screwed by the gaps if they buy into a simple “Headless === Faster/Better”
